Terai Yuki weather girl :)
woh noes i screwed up.
my unpaid staycation starts this weekend. took off next week thinking i'd be coming back to work 2 days and then Thanksgiving off and the Friday.
but. thanksgiving is the 27th! there's a whole week in between my staycation and Thanksgiving.
i hate myself. dohhh total screw up/
squash soup for lunch. brought nanas, but is too green to eat i think.
gonna treat myself to a new coffee travel mug from starbucks. coffee gets cold before i finish it.
It's cold, it's going to rain all day, my neck hurts, breakfast was leftover chicken which was meh, and
I'm out of content money. :shut:
Work stress is high today, cant get the LCD display to run and the manufacturer tells me it should work fine. Idiots may lose a 1000 piece sale due to their lack of support. :shut:
Oh hateful life! Need beer. :down:
The spinning creates a false gravity. It's actually centrifugal force. I'm sure you've been on an amusement park ride that does that. There was one called the Roundup at Lincon Park in Fall River. You'd stand against the outer wall (a flat wire cage) and it would start spinning and you'd be pinned against the wall. You could move, but just barely. Not for the queesy. If you were, and you turned your head into the spinning direction and puked, it would come back on your face! Not fun, I imagine! I loved the ride, though. Rather than like gravity, where you are pulled into the center of mass, you are pushed to the outer edge. So the floor in a space station that's spinning would be on the outer edge of the structure. If you ever saw Space 2001, you'd remember when the man was running, he was on a curved floor, like running uphill all the time. That was the outside wall of the structure.
As for the Earth not crashing into the sun...the orbit does that. An orbit is actually acceleration away from the Sun. The Sun's gravity keeps Earth from escaping, thus it is constantly accelerating and constantly being pulled back. They cancel each other out. The orbit is not perfectly circular, though. Nor is the Moon's orbit around Earth. Gravity is what keeps all spinning formations in the cosmos from ripping apart. The galaxy is spinning and orbiting the center of the galaxy, but the gravity keeps it from just flying off into space deeper and farther away. Sometimes gravity does overcome. Very slowly. On a solar system the result is planets crashing into their star, and a failed solar system, or partially failed.

i haven't been to science class over 30 years :) prolly made new discoveries.
wondering if they proved the centrifugal theory. and how do you get people from a space shuttle to a spinning space station?
Beer!
maybe some serenity prayer make better? wisdom to know what you can't change, etc :)
huh, the serenity prayer is actually longer than i'm used to seeing it.
The whole station wouldn't be spinning. And even if so, docking stations could be at the ends of the hub, where the artificial gravity would be just about null. In some designs/conceptions, there are parts of the station that do not rotate, with some presumably bearing joint between the spinning portion(s) and the non-spinning portion(s).
Centrifugal force is not a theory. As I explained, it's been put to use in practice, even in amusement park rides. As far as planetary physics, it's just a matter of mathematics and knowledge of physics.
The ride I mentioned actually lifts up and tilts at an extreme angle, but you don't fall off because the centrifugal force has you pinned against the outer wall. Some such rides even drop the floor from under your feet, for that extra thrill!

I think an hour of deep meditation would fix me right up, if I could find a quiet place for it here. Meh.
But.. SOUP BREAK! Campbell's Chunky Sirloin Burger, great on a cold wet day! :cheese:

but have they tested it in space?
I've read articles with the real space station and people losing bone mass.

hot soup for the soul :)
Morning. Hopeful patches of blue sky like placid summer lagoons in a wintery storm tossed sky shortly after sunrise, maybe it will warm up today :)

...for something that size, the bearing would most likely be a magnetic one (similar to the linear induction principle used by Maglev trains) as it would be frictionless.
...from the forecast I see, I'd keep sweater or light jacket handy. Now tomorrow (Thurs. there) and into the weekend looks a lot better.
Back from work and am tired. Trying to play a video but nothing is showing. Might have to look for that nero disc to see if I can install nero to see if that can let me play this movie.
I am asked to come back to work tomorrow.
Good morning! :coolsmile:
it sounds like your first day went well. :)
...indeed, always a positive sign when the have you come back.

Stormy weather here but very little actual rain so far this year, just a couple of millimetres at a time. Got the wooly jumper and the wool lined jacket on today :)
Good morning! :coolsmile:
*waves*. Listening to ypur ambient tracks waiting for stuff to start moving today, traffic is dreadful even though a lot of people take a hangover day after the big race day on Tuesday :)
Hey congratulations on the job, very well done :)
FYI, this is what the SOFTWARE GUY (me) does here.. and it has almost nothing to do with software! :ahhh: :ahhh:
I constructed 90% of that, 10% with the able and indispensable help of my hardware counterpart. :bug:
Since we won't have REAL hardware until Christmas, I built a near copy out of parts.. and can develop without "real" hardware.
Pity me... :blank:
Imagine tossing a billard ball onto a rubber sheet, the ball is heavy enough to make a dent in the rubber that holds the ball in place. Gravity bends space time like a billard ball on a rubber sheet, the ball stays in the groove and on track as it orbits :)
*pities* but love breadboarding personally :lol:
...do you have one of these?
but have they tested it in space?

I don't think the ISS rotates. All it does is reposition to avoid radiation or to get a better view of the planet. I keep hoping they'll expand it and do it right. But I don't know what will happen with it. They seem to be more involved in doing experiments in zero (or near-zero) gravity.
Dana
...do you have one of these?
Everyone should have one of those...if they worked! I'd have a couple. Oh, wait, maybe it would be beyond my budget...which doesn't exist. :down:

Whee, my new monitor came in. It's ginormous (compared to what I had before). I doubt I'd be able to fit another 24 inch monitor on my desk.
Can't wait to try it in Daz but tonight is gaming night and we're leaving in ten minutes.
...well, as of tonight, I am now "true" Oregonian as my former home state just went off the deep end.
Go Ducks!
Go Beavers!
Go Blazers!
Go Timbers!
Go Winter Hawks!
